The NetSource Difference

At NetSource, we have been building websites since 1995, and have had the privilege of working with hundreds of companies in 47 different states and several foreign countries. We have been fortunate enough to have worked with many clients for 10 years or more and have won over 50 awards for our work. As you consider who you should work with on your next web site design, development, or redesign project, we think it is important that you know what sets us apart from our competitors and makes us the best choice for your next project.

We believe that when you choose NetSource to create or redesign your company website, you get an experience that is different and better than you will have with any other web designer, web development company, or advertising agency you may be considering for your project.

Here are 12 things that make up The NetSource Difference.

1

Stability - We have been in the business of building websites since 1995. Your website should be an important part of your business. You need a partner that will be there when you need them. From the beginning, we have built a foundation for our organization that will allow us to survive tough times and be there when you need us. We own our facility and we own all of our servers and equipment. We carry the right insurance to cover our business from not only disaster, but from frivolous lawsuits and Errors and Omissions claims (most web design companies don't). We continually reinvest in our systems and training for our staff to make sure that everything we do is the best it can be. By having the latest technology and control over our systems, we can deliver superior results for you in less time and for less money than our competitors.

2

Knowledge - We aren't a bunch of kids fresh out of school that have done nothing but build websites. Several of our team members have owned or managed businesses of their own, both in and out of the technology industry. That gives us real world experience sitting on the same side of the desk as you. We think customer service is important and that we have a responsibility to treat you in the same way we would expect to be treated. We understand that design awards and accolades for sites are great, but they don't mean anything if they don't deliver your goals and drive your bottom line. Everything we do is focused on listening to your goals and delivering solutions that drive your bottom line. You succeed, we succeed.

3

Experience - We have sales staff, technical staff, administrative staff, designers, and programmers that have been working in our organization for over 10 years. Our team has seen a lot. We have seen trends come and go. We understand the fundamentals of what makes a site successful and what doesn't. If you see the Internet as an important part of your sales channel, working with an experienced team will help you make the right choices to build long term success.

4

Team - With a staff of 18, NetSource is larger than most design and development companies. We work together as a team every day, bouncing ideas off each other and looking for new and better ways to do things. There is always someone there to answer the phone and help you solve your problem. It means that everything we do is done by in-house staff. No outsourcing, no excuses.

5

Education - In addition to experience, every member of our design and programming team has a degree in their field from a college or university. They understand the fundamental concepts of programming and design that the vast majority of self-educated designers have no concept of. We also dedicate time and money to allow our staff members to continue to learn and keep up with the latest software, trends, and techniques in their area of specialization. We also read and discuss several books as a group each year that enable us to redefine what we do and how we do it to create the best results for our clients.

6

Testing - We own and operate over 150 websites of our own. Some of what we do on our own sites:

eCommerce

Classified ads

SEO

Blogs

Content & Traffic Driven Revenue

Banner and text ads

These sites give us the mechanism and motivation to continually test and improve our own results, allowing us to pass the knowledge we gain onto the work we do for you. We don't experiment and make mistakes on your site, we learn what works and why on our own projects so you can get the benefits.

7

Expertise - We believe that the old saying "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is true at NetSource. When you combine everything, we have a unique level of expertise that you won't often find at any interactive company. We can not only create the project, but we can offer you real insight and advice on how to maximize your results. We take a holistic approach to building websites - we believe that truly great websites do everything well, not just a few things, and that the real measure of success of any project is not in awards or traffic, but in what it does to your bottom line. Our expertise allows us to give you solid answers to any of your marketing questions and deliver real world results for you without ever having to go outside our own building.

8

Awards - Since 2001, we have won 53 awards for our design work from the American Advertising Federation. While design awards don't mean we know how to make you succeed online, they do mean that our talented team of designers can make you look good.

9

Focus - When we take on a new project, one of the first things we do is to determine what your goals for the site are and establish goals for each page or section of the site. We strive to stay focused on directing every element of the project towards driving your goals and objectives.

10

Process - We have a defined Development Process and Quality Assurance Program. We don't fly by the seat of our pants. We make sure the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. We test your programs to make sure they work. We test your website in every popular browser to make sure it displays correctly in each one. We make sure all of your forms actually get delivered to you and data is entered correctly into databases where appropriate. After we complete and deliver your site, we run through a 50 point checklist again to make sure nothing was missed. If after all of that we still miss something, we will take care of it ASAP and at no cost to you.

11

Communication - We believe that the key to success for any project is communication. That's why you will receive a weekly e-mail update on your projects status and progress from the lead developer on your project. It's also the reason all of our development team members are available for you to talk to or ask questions of at any time during your project. And, if at any time you are unsatisfied with what is happening, our sales and management team are more than happy to talk to you and try to resolve the problem.

12

Commitment - We are committed to creating "Raving Fans" customers. One of the requirements of all new team members is to read Ken Blanchard's book, Raving Fans. The point of the book is that we should be so focused on exceeding our customers' expectations in every area of our business that they become "Raving Fans" who can't wait to find someone to tell how great we are to do business with.

Raving Fans is not just a slogan for us, it is fundamental to how we do business. We believe that you, as our customer, are the center of our business. Everything we do is built around the concept that if we help you succeed, we succeed by default. Our underlying goal is not to win design awards or build buzz about our company, but to win you more business and make sure that we do everything in our power to give you the most Return On Investment for your web site investment and deliver real profits to your bottom line.

Are You Ready to be a Raving Fan?
